My Riffs

Find your why.  It makes your life have all the meaning you need. 

It’s connections that matter.  Real connections. In person, face to face connections.  That’s what really matters.  Technology allows us to connect with people we can’t physically connect with. And that’s a wonderful thing. And that connection is better than no connection. However, face to face can’t be replaced.  So your quality of life is tied directly to the connections you have and how often you make them. 

Make the most of daylight.  In 24 hours you only get so much day light.  In your lifespan, you only get so much daylight.  Don’t waste a moment of it.  Let there be purpose in your action. In rest, in leisure let there be purpose. In work and relationships, find purpose.  Daylight only lasts so long. 

What does money matter when you don't have health. And health is a complex thing. It's physical, yes, but also mental, emotional, and spiritual. If one has true health, that is their wealth.

Data is important. It helps us make decisions. But it's good to learn how to look past the data. There's usually more than just numbers. Understanding all the nuances behind the data is important. Decisions can be made based on data alone, and some should be. But some decisions can be made with data as a factor but accounting for other aspects too. A balanced decision is best, where head and heart can agree.

Find more mentors. Mentors don't have to have every answer. But they can provide support and guideance you can't have on your own.
